Xperia Z1 camera issue

[ericIRELAND1]

All photos my wife or myself take in low light levels has a white blurr that appears on the right side after the camera flashes, the image is without this problem until it is taken. Is this a problem with the software or a hardware flaw with the camera/flash proximity to each other and the chrome rim around the lens.this is on both our z1 phones my wife has a white one and I a black one. The red inference on the left side is not common just bad lighting. When I say the right side it would be on the bottom side for portrait photos

the superior auto only shoots in 8mp or less,

i have used the camera on the htc one and samsung galaxy s4 active, and both are superior quality to my xperia z1

in low light the camera is nearly useless, with just blurs and noise

claiming this to be the best camera in a waterproof phone is pure fantasy

the z1's camera firmware needs a serious update, also my qx10 lens has no flash and it feels quite buggy constantly dropping the wifi signal

camera aside im actually quite happy with my Z1 now that sony has started rolling out android updates in a timely fashion

only other gripe i have is the screen, the z1 compact has an ips screen but the flagship Z1 has not and this results in poor viewing angles, for instance using the dk31 dock

ISO 125, 1/32s

It looks overexposed for those settings that too indoors. Maybe a EV-1 correction is required.

. I dont seen any problem with the lens.

I'M TOTALY DISAPPOINTMENT WITH CAMERA  QUALITY. LOT OF PIXELS WHILE TAKIN THE PICTURE AND WITH SHADE:smileycry:.

ONCE I UPDATED ANDROID 4.3,  NFS ICON ABSCONDED IN MY PHONE AND ALSO GETTING A ISSUE IN MY SOUND SYSTEM.:smileysad:

APART FROM THIS ISSUE, I WAS SATISFY WITH THIS MOBILE AND APPS WAS REALLY GOOD.:smileyhappy::smileylaugh:

I'm getting a blur vision when i move my phone to camera before taking pic. The vision is having dotted spots all over the phone though it is in normal mode.

And i also face the white shade issue.

I never expected this from the mobile with 20MP.Moreover, the front camera **bleep**. I have seen local phone with 2MP having better quality.

Please give me a solution for this. Don't make me regret going for Sony . and please dont give the solution to read first 2 pages of post. Those don't work for me .

Should i go for a replacement.Suggest. Will going for replacement work??..It has only been 3 days since i bought this phone

Just purchased a z1 and a nice flip case. Found that the flash / exposure gives a misty picture with the case on - fine with it removed . daylight photos OK with case on . waiting for Sony to recommend a suitable case

Ok the issue has re appeared. The lighter handling of the camera did help but not completely. There is still a reflection of light on the lens that appears under certain conditions.The next image is a washed out image issue.

 

And this is the fixed one  

The fix for me was a black sharpie around the chrome rim around the lens CAREFULLY. It was instantly better. It is fine on my phone but the missus z1 is white so a bit more care will be required. I hope this helps out just be careful one slip and it won't be white pictures u will be worrying about.
